-------------------------------------------------------
Summary: The windows Shares connector needs some improvement in
dates and other fields management
Key: CONNECTORS-1071
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1071
Project: ManifoldCF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JCIFS connector
Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.7
Reporter: Antonio David Pérez Morales
Priority: Minor
Fix For: ManifoldCF 1.8
Right now the connector is overwriting the tika metadata "creation_date" and
"last_modification_Date" for a document. This is happening because at a Windows
Shares level you have a creation_date and a last_modification_date (related to
the creation of the document in the windows shares filesystem) that are
different from the creation_date and the last_modification_date associated to
the original file.
There is the need to change the metadata name to distinguish between this 2
layers of dates and guaranteeing flexibility to the user to use the one that
he/she wants with a proper mapping.
A plus can be to format the date in the lucene standard, to be aligned with a
proper standard.
- Url metadata :
Can be useful to extract the Url and store it in a specific metadata ( further
than the ID of the document). In this way we can keep it as Id but also use it
with other mappings without affecting the Id field.
- Parent Directory path :
Can be useful to extract the Path for the directory that contains the current
file. Evaluate well this as can be a redundancy or an improvement.
